    Considering that he basically told Odin Loki to take the throne and shove it, he probably just took the Bifrost back to Earth.

    @Yoda's_Roommate, I'd also like to know why he doesn't wear his helmet aside from that one scene in Thor, because it looked really cool on him.

    Loki mentions the All-Father had to summon a lot of dark energy in order to send Thor to Earth. By the end they were able to summon more dark energy by harnessing the Tesseract in order to go back to Asgard.

    I don't think dark energy had anything to do with the trip back to Asgard. Pretty sure that was just the Tesseract's power by itself, considering it's probably housing the Space Stone.

    I got that, but unless a tangent has become so lengthy, so off-topic and so unwieldy that it detracts from more relevant discussion (say, to the point mods intervene), I tend to find the cliche quasi-humorous, quasi-mocking "Errr... so ~mainstream topic~ is cool" response to an interesting and, most importantly, brief tangential exchange between two users dismissive, unnecessary and thus somewhat irksome.

    Agreed, especially considering that one of the Space Stone's abilities is that it lets you instantaneously teleport anywhere in the universe.

    IIRC, the Tesseract was said to be a source of dark energy or some such (which was why SHIELD was trying to harness it)- however it opens a door in space-time in the process.

    So Thor's return trip is both dark energy and the Tesseract's power- just one via the other.


    Caught the film for the 3rd time earlier this evening, one line I noticed has a (possibly unintended?) double meaning- where Ultron says "Invaders create Avengers". Heh.

    Pretty fun and accurate Red Letter Media review. I'm not sure but there's probably some bad language, so you know, click at your own risk.



    And dp4m and heels1785 are going to love their little non-sequitur about a Batman v. Superman action figure.

    it's still kind of odd that they don't own the writes to say 'mutant', because i just looked up in a really old dictionary and that word is in there, so it wasn't created by anyone at Marvel in 1963

    Neither was the word "superman" created by DC. It doesn't work like that. The whole idea of superheroes born with innate abilities, hated and feared by a world they try to protect, and named "mutants"? You can bet that's Marvel's.

    Right. They've locked it up tight, especially after the launching of The New Mutants in the 80's. They trademarked the word Mutant. You can see it in the cover of Amazing Spider-Man #312.

    As well as the cover of The New Mutants which has a TM rather than a copyright symbol.

    At the end of Ultron, who all are officially part of the Avengers still? Is Vision a part of the Avengers?

    I'd say so, yes.

    It looks like the new team is Cap, Black Widow, Scarlet Witch, Falcon, Vision and War Machine.

    Sounds good.

    I managed to forget who was in the training room at the end of Ultron

    I wonder if Ant-Man is going to be joining between movies (after his movie teased in an after credits scene and in time for Civil War)...

    hey i have those books.
    it's just odd you know that Fox would have the ability to use Mutant , but both movie companies are using Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver. what a web of craziness.


    Probably Ant-Man will join at the climax of Civil War, and be there for Infinity War.

    I figured that since Vision isn't a biological life form, Odin's spell didn't count....just like Cap's theoretical elevator.

    Which is why when Mjolnir hit the deck aboard the Helicarrier in The Avengers, it didn't cause the entire ship to fall from the sky, nor did it crash through the hull.

    Why couldn't Tony and Rhodey lift it when they had their suit gauntlets on then? It would be the metal picking up and holding the hammer after all...

    Probably because the hammer doesn't get fooled by sitcom logic: the spell understands the "spirit of the law" and knows the difference between an elevator lifting it up (where it still isn't being wielded) vs a person lifting it with a metal hand and then being capable of weilding it.

    I saw this last week. Mediocore as I was thinking it was. The ending with a floating city was over the top.

    What if Tony got in his suit, then put that suit in the Hulkbuster... could the Hulkbuster then lift it? :p
